JACOB KATZENBERG, OF NEXV YORK, N. Y.

GARTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 408,179, dated July 30,1889.

Application filed January 8, 1889. Serial No. 295,764. (No model.)

'scription.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of my new and improved garter. Fig. 2 isa detailed top or edge View. Figs. 3 and4= are different views of theclasp, and Fig. 5 is an edge View showing the method of applying theclasp.

The invention willfirst be described in connection with the drawings,and then pointed out in the claim.

A represents an elastic tape of suitable length to form a garter. Theends of this tape are united by a metal clasp B, applied a shortdistance from the ends a a, which are thus left free to constitute thebow. The said ends,

which are turned to one side, not only form the bow, but serve to coverand conceal the clasp B. In forming the garter, the ends a a are placedtogether, as shown in Fig. 5,

| and the clasp B applied and the ends of the clasp struck down with ahammeror other means. The ends a a may be then turned to one side, sothat they form the bow and cover the clasp in front, as shown clearly inFig. 2. The clasp is prevented from coming in contact with the stockingby the main portion of the tape, and it is prevented from comin g incontact with the drawers and other under-garments by the ends a a.Byconstructing the garter in this manner the same is very cheap,practical, and serviceable, and all danger of ripping apart is obviated.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent As an improved article of manufacture, a gartercomposed of an elastic tape A, having its ends united by a metal claspB, applied to the tape a short distance from its extremities, the endsbeing left free to form the bowpieces a a, which cover the clasp atthefront, substantially as described.
